Sorno yours ago a book appeared
that created a great sensation in the
literary world. It was the Journal of!
Marie Bashkirtsoff, a young Russian j
girl, whose early death in Paris was I
succeeded, by the publication of her i
diary.
Tho absolute directness of the self
revelations made in the Bashkirtsoff]
i autobiography was what chiefly com- :
mended the book to a reading public, |
unused to undisguised truth on the
! part of an author! and instantly at?
tracted by tho sincerity and simplify !
j with which tho author's work was
clothed.
I Arnold Bennett has written an intro?
duction to "Marie-Claire." lie afllrms
I tho claim that it Is the creation of a
sempstress workin?; for 60 cents a j
day In a Parisian attic, and that it
j Is the unembcllishcd story of her glrl
i hood.
j The "unembelllshcd story" Is pathetic
ifnough, for Marlo-Clalrc's beginning
recounts the death of her mother or
foster-mother, and tho desertion of
i her by her father or foster-father,
i when she was Just live years old. Sent |
I to a convent school, tho child was j
i very lonely until she fell under the '
[ fostering care <>f Soeur Marle-Aimce. j
between whom and herself there sprung j
I up an attachment, beautiful for its depth i
j and constancy. She writes of the time i
When she was taken to Soeur Marie- j
I Aimec's class-ro-bin in these words: j
I "I expected to bo scolded; but Socur(
; Marle-Aimee smiled, kissed me several i
j times, and said, "You are too small !
I to sit oil a bench, I shall put you in (
i here." And she sat mo down on a i
stool In , the hollow of her desk. Itj
was ever so comfortable; the warmth i
i of her woolen petticoat soothed my !
body, which was bruised all over by
tumbling about on tho wooden and.
stone statrcescs. often two feet
hemmed me in on each side of my
stool, and two warm legs made a
back for me. A groping hand pressed
iny head on to the woolen skirt be?
tween the knees, and the softness of
the hand and the warmth of the pillow
used to send nte to sleep. When I woke
up again the pillow became a table.
The Enme hand put bits of cake on It
and morsels of sugar and sweets
sometimes. Sometimes the feet would
be drawn away from my little stool,
tho knees would be drawn together,
tho chair would move, and i would

veil, a narrow chin, smlllne- Hps with
little white pointed teeth behind them,
and last of all two eyes which seem?

quality that survives tho best of time.
"Marle-Clalre" Is brimful of person?

A SPLENDID
FIGHT FOR HEALTH
What Mrs. Akers Did For Herself,
In Spite of Discouragement
Basham, Ya.?Mrs. Malinda A. Akers,
of this place, writes: "I suffered more
than six years with headache, pain in my
limbs and left side. I was not able to
stand on my feet. I suffered untold
misery at times, so that I had to call the
doctor. The doctors gave me up, and
said that no medicine would reach my
case unless I went through an operation.
On my husband's advice I began to
take the Cardui Home Treatment and
was cured. I am now enjoying splendid
health, and do all of my own housework.
Cardui has been a great benefit to me and
I would not be without it."
Once given a thorough trial, Cardui will
always remain the preferred, standard
remedy for all the ills that afflict women
?the tonic to use when new strength is
needed to build up the weary body and
nerves.
Remember, you will really be trying no
experiment. Cardui is not a new, untried
remedy. It has been in use for half a
century. It has made good.
As a tonic there is nothing in the drug
store like it.
As a remedy for woman's ills it has no
equal.
Try it for yourself.

meaning conveyed. And what is true
hero is true in a dozen different in?
stances.
The vital force of Marguerite
Audoux's novel is found in its fresh?
ness and absolute removal from any?
thing that In forced or labored. What
everls mentioned, even "Marie-Claire's"'
daily experiences as shepherdess
and maid of all work to Farmer
Sylvain. and the humble folk with whom
site here comes In contact, arc de?
scribed with an intuitive acumen that
lends them individuality and interest.
"Marie-Claire's" love-history, like
that of Soenr-Almec's Is a
tragedy. She looks back, on it very!
calmly, but though she writes without'
unnecessary ado, the heartbreak of \
it is quite ip pa rent and throbs afresh,;
whop Soeur-Aimee goes to nurse,
the lepers, and Sister Desirec-des- j
Anges goes on a yet darker and lone- :
ller journey. All this comes before
Marie-Claire is again thrust out in >
the world arid leaves the convent
school, to which she has returned, for
Paris.
Now, John N. Raphael says that Mar- J
guerite Audoux and Marie-Claire are |
ono< and tho same, and that the 1
stempstresR lives In n garret of the Rue I
Leopold Robert, in Paris. He goes!
on to point out that when the com?
mittee of the Vie Hcnreusc was voting
on her book before awarding it the
annual prize, her manuscript was sent
for to test its authenticity. The book
writing had been carried oh Inter?
mittently, with scraps of coarse, and
cheap, but clean paper. To see It was
immediately to know the truth con?
cerning it.
To-day is the day of the worker, of 1
the woman who contributes something
of herself to humanity, who plays her i
part on the stage of life to a success?
ful finish, who leaves the world rich?
er by so much for something attempt?
ed and achieved.
Marguerite Audoux is both worker
and genius. For it is worth while to
have put experiences Into words in
a way that has amazed Paris, even
wiille the same Marguerite Audoux
was mightily and mostly concerned
that she could not spell very well.
For poor spelling can be forgiven in
a woman who, dependent for her daily
bread upon ? scanty stipend earned
by the work of her fingers, has found a
way outside of toll to render herself
famous as the author of a famous
book. Fstimatlng It as a whole. It
may be likened to a river that had to
be crossed by soldiers In time of war.
Its limpid clearness, showing the white
pebbles on its bottom, deceived them
altogether as to its depth. They
plunged in without pause and, in a
moment, found themselves obliged to
swim for their lives to the farther
shore. .So with "Marie-Claire." Its
absolute appearance of simplicity
serves to mask its very real shrewd?
ness in construction. Its reservations
speak more loudly than Its expressions,
and they reveal Marie-Claire as the
direct product of heredity and en?
vironment, a type of girlhood and wo?
manhood, who sees, feels and acts as
she does, because she follows out Ir?
resistible impulses engendered in her
by reason of the circumstances of her
birth and her upbringing. It is "Kis?
met" with her from beginning to end?
ing.

A Synchronic Chart of United State*
History.
By George E. Croscup. B. A. The
Windsor Publishing Co. $1.50.
Statistical tables by the author and
chronological text by F.'rnest D. Lewis,
A. M.. add to the completeness with
which Mr. Croscup has made good his
aim of bringing American history
clearly before the eye in a single view.
The author uses an appropriate de?
scriptive phrase throughout; he calls
his work, "history made visible." "It
includes a number of American his?
torical maps and diagrams, principal
among which is the large folding chart
from which the hook takes its name.
This chart Is really a practical and in?
structive piece of work. Upon it each
important event of national history is
so set down that its relation to every
ether event, both In time and locality,
can be seen at a glance.
The relation of this country to others
and the lnfluenco of European nations
upon America are represented on va?
rious portions of the chart by differ?
ences in color, yellow indicating the.
Spanish period in early history, red
the English, and so on. The chrono?
logical order of these periods, is pre?
served by lines dividing the chart Into
centuries and quarter centuries.'
The main chapters of tho text form
a brief outline of American history in
chronological sequence .Chief events
stand out In heavy type. Minor mat?
ters are dressed in minor type. The
scholarly character and mechanical ac?
curacy of the hook otherwise, commend
it alike to educators and students.
"The Married .Ml?s Worth."
" By Louise. Closser Hale. Harper &
Bros., of New York.
Louise Closser Hale, who hns been
/(laying during this winter to New
York audiences as Fairy Bcrylemo in
"The Blue. Bird," is. with the publica?
tion of "The Married Miss Worth." tho
author of two books, her first novel,
"The Actress," having been her pro
vious literary success.
"The Actress" had to do chiefly with
the experiences of an American actress
in London. In "Tho Married Miss
Worth" tho background, the incidents
and tho characters are all typically
American- The author says that she
has attempted to show how propinquity
may Imperil domestic happiness, es?
pecially tho happiness of stage people.
The heroine, of the story is Hilda
Worth, leading lady In a theatrical
company, with her husband, Tom Lano,
an engaging and ambitious young man.
*Tho has his attention turned toward
playwrltlng awl producing. Thor?. Is
no part of the hook better told than
that In which tho wedding of Hilda
and Tom at tho opening of the story
Is described. The naturalness of the
w* slo affair, tho sympathy of tho
members of tho company with the
bride and croorri, tho littlo details
Which till In tho picture, are all plo- I
lured In a thoroughly realistic and
sympathetic manner.
Hilda und Tom are a genuine pair
of lovers nfter marriage as before. But
Tom thinks too well of h'msolf and
his abilities to play second llddle In
a company where his wife Is tBken on
as leading woman. He pursues his
work In New York, therefore, and
j she goes on tho road after having
i quarreled with l.er husband.
Her now leading man cloaks villain?
ous Intents under a frank and plnus
I Iblo exterior, and follows up what
j seems to bo harmless enough love
i making by professed proof to Hilda
I that Tom has forgotten her because
i of Infatuation for a woman that
Hilda has looked upon as her best
? friend. And that, evidently thinks
! Louise Closscr Ha!e, Is the result of
I propinquity.
Throughout tho book is full oT gon
! nine humor and of quaint comment
on people and things, and actors and
actresses arc revealed for what they
I really are, and not for what they
j often are Imagined to bo. The love
story of the book .s u ell and Interest?
ingly told, ami the book situations are
worked out by a process of real de?
velopment in character.
I "The Hol teil Door."
By George Glbbs. D. Apploton ?
Co., of New York. $1.25 net.
It seems to be a. popular device of
present day novelists to Introduce a
hero and heroine who are compelled
by the testamentary vagaries of a de?
ceased relative to marry each other,
or remain In dire poverty for the rest
of their days. The possible testators
are nearly always people who have
been brought up In the most helpless
j fashion, without tho least Idea of the
value of money.
"Tho Bolted I>oor" is a novel of this
class. The heroine. Natalie .ludson,
had been indulged to the top of her
bent by her uncle, Oliver .ludson. as
long as ho lived. The conditions of
his will hind her to a marriage with
i Uncle Oliver's nephew, Brooke Oar

Natalie .Tudson is a very silly, weak
woman. But she has senso enough to
seek well-being In obeying Uncle Oll

I lows her lead and serves a purpose
I in tho wedding scheme, which the two
I young people agree to carry out simply
I for Natalie's benefit. She scorns Brooke
and is very much In love with another
man.

??Due Way Out."
By William -.Carleton. Small, May- '
nard & Co., of Boston, Mass. ?1.20 net.
.Many people who are facing lite prob
lern of "the high cost of living" with!
discouragement ought to read '?One'
Way Out,"'and'llnd out how a man and
woman, living presumably near .New
V?rie and In it, retrieved their losses
and achieved independence.
This man and his wife began life
pretty much as hundreds of others do
every year. The man earned u salary
and was industrious. His wife, was
prudent and thritty and knew how to
provide for her. little family, which
Included her son, an only child, in i
way which was certainly not extrava?
gant, j
But after a while hard times came.
The man lost his position and found I
difficulty in getting another. Then he
hail an inspiration. He and his family
emigrated. That is, they gave, tip their
suburban home, sold all of their fur- ]
nlture except some bare necessaries,]
and. with a little money thus obtained,
went into the city by tho emigrant way,
securing a cheap lloor in a tenement
district known as "Little Italy."
Here they were strangers, Just atoms
In tiie tolling mass of humanity. Noth
Ilng was demanded or expected of them. '
They were free to come and go as
they chose and do what they liked.
They made their rooms clean and do
I cent, doing the best they could with the
I little they had. Then the man sought
I and got a Job which gnvo him outdoor
work and paid him a modest wage.
I Ills wife took care of the task of keep?
